Poland: Poland Maintains its Leading Position in the EU

Poland remains the major producer of poultry meat in the European Union. It is estimated that in 2016 poultry production will increase by an additional 15 percent in comparison to 2015. Higher output of poultry meat is stimulated by growing domestic consumption and export demand. Although the majority of poultry meat exports are directed to the internal EU market the industry and the Polish government are trying to open new markets including obtaining eligibility to export to the United States. It is expected that due to reduction of prices for poultry meat on the domestic market and declining export demand, production of poultry meat in the first half of 2017 will be five percent higher than in the same period of 2016.
